TPiR, what did I miss? Options

I guess I don't see why she can't provide the locations for us.

And I don't see why she has any obligaton to, save to prove herself to you, which clearly doesn't concern her. Which is her choice.

Seeing that she wants to get the word out, I don't see why it wouldn't help her cause. Like she said - she's basing it on facts, why not be pointed in the direction of said facts?

While I don't entirely disagree with you, it all boils down to whose opinions she cares about. Again, her choice.

First you have to prove there is some kind of malfeasance in Barker refusing to allow more than two African-American contestants per show. It is entirely feasible that he is within his rights to do so. TPIR is an artistic work and not a public accomodation, and as an artistic work the producer has leeway in terms of casting. No one would ever try to dictate to, say, Steven Spielberg how many whites/blacks/Asians/Hispanics he should cast in one of his motion pictures. I believe the same applies to TPIR. To do so would open a whole can of worms in terms of freedom of artistic expression and First Amendment rights.

Anybody else here who's heard of the Freedom Of Information Act? You've got the information on where to file the request and what to request, all you need to do is make the request and, as long as it's a public document, pay to get a copy that you can read at your leisure.

All fine and dandy; once again though (and as Chris has a point - her choice) - she's the one with the axe to grind, let her lead the way with the documents.

Therein lies a commentary on the sad state our society has fallen into. When I was in school we didn't have computers (ye gods!), so we had to do all of our own research. Now, it's gotten to where we say, "Show me where it is, I haven't got the time to do it myself."

That means 99% of the people are expecting the other 1% to do the research, and then they demand the right to the final results. Sad, but true. Therefore, I agree that Pentellit has every right not to divulge her sources or provide links to them. If you, and you know who you are gentlemen, want the info badly enough you can do a little digging yourself to find it. As for her having an "axe to grind", I didn't see any axe -- heck, I didn't even see a tree!

No offense intended to anyone, and these opinions are solely my own and are not related in any way to those of the Game Show Forum moderators.
